Ajax set to sign Moisander

The Finland international is seemingly on his way
back to the Amsterdam
ArenA after leaving the Eredivisie champions six years ago

Niklas
Moisander is
on the verge of leaving AZ for Ajax, after both clubs reached an
agreement over a transfer fee in the region of €3 million.

The
26-year-old centre-back had already agreed personal terms with Ajax,
and will travel to Amsterdam
later on Monday to undergo a medical.

"It's a matter of details now, but I expect that everything will work out
fine," commented Moisander's agent Soren Lerby to Voetbal
International.

The Eredivisie champions are in the market for defensive reinforcements because
of the departure of Jan Vertonghen to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this summer,
and head coach Frank de Boer sees Moisander as the perfect addition.

The Finnish defender came through the ranks of the Ajax
youth academy, but failed to break into the first team and left the club for Zwolle in 2006.
